Laser Fundamentals INTRODUCTION The word " Laser " is an acronym for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation. Lasers are finding ever increasing military applications -- principally for target acquisition, fire control, and training. These lasers are termed rangefinders, target designators, and direct-fire simulators. Lasers are also being used in communications, Laser radars (LIDAR), landing Systems , Laser pointers, guidance Systems , scanners, metal working, photography, holography, and medicine. In this document the word Laser will be limited to electromagnetic radiation emitting devices using light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation at wavelengths from 180 nanometers to 1 millimeter.
